Toyota releases the Ultimate Edition FJ Cruiser

Posted on November 6, 2013 by admin.

Amidst all of the updates about the newest concept trucks debuting at the SEMA Show, Toyota leaked out some bad news: The 2014 edition of the FJ Cruiser will be the last of its line. However, the SUV is going out with a bang. Toyota unveiled the 2014 FJ Cruiser Trail Teams Ultimate Edition, which is poised to make a dent in the world of off-roading thanks to an array of impressive new features.

As the most rugged FJ Cruiser ever made, this 2014 model was inspired by some of its predecessors, such as the Land Cruisers from the 1960s. Much of that retro style is still evident in the exterior of the vehicle, as a paint job using the color "Heritage Blue" is matched with a white-painted front grille and black accents.

The truck suspension is catered toward off-road driving and includes race shocks with better stability at all speeds. There is also a new front skid plate, which has been designed to provide extra protection for the front of the vehicle regardless of the terrain on which it is driving. More input from Toyota Racing Development has helped to revamp similar features, as well as the skid plate, to offer uniform protection to the underside of the automobile. It also outfitted the vehicle with 16-inch bead lock wheels, rock rails and a roof rack, all of which complete the rugged look while also offering plenty of additional amenities that drivers will enjoy.

Only 2,500 models of the Trail Teams Ultimate Edition will be produced. Between its limited availability and its range of impressive features, there should be quite a demand - and a price tag - for these vehicles. The off-road vehicle will come to showrooms beginning in February 2014.
